Radiohead rocks those mediocre tunes

March 21, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I have been wanting to see Radiohead in concert for a long time so as soon as the tickets went on sale, David bought them for us. The two closest venues were Dallas and Kansas City. We decided on Kansas City because it was on a Sunday night (Dallas was a Tuesday) and since David has a location there he figured he could work in a trip to check things out on the Monday following. As it turns out, he ended up having to go earlier so by the time we went, he didn’t need to make another visit so he just took a vacation day. We flew up on Saturday, the 10th and returned Monday the 12th.

Just across the street from the concert venue we were greeted by this:

I took this blurry photo with my phone as I quickly crossed the street but yes, those are the infamous Westboro Baptist nuts protesting Radiohead. Apparently there weren’t any good funerals to protest that evening. I later looked up an article about it to find out precisely what they have against Radiohead and this is what I found:

“God is undoing this nation and effecting (sic) all of your lives, with the moth that quietly eats the very fabric of your national garment. Radiohead is just such an event. Freak monkey’s (sic) with mediocre tunes keeps you busy and focused by lightness.”

Oookaaay. In this instance I think I’m most offended by their poor writing skills. To each his own but I thoroughly enjoy the “mediocre tunes” of these “freak monkey’s (sic)” and the show was fantastic.

The opening act was also quite good. We texted Chris to find out who they were. Other Lives is actually from Oklahoma and I will definitely be seeking out more of their music. If you ever get the opportunity to see these freak monkeys in concert, I highly recommend the experience.
And now for a gratuitous dog picture:
